What Legal Authority Can Do for You

Legal Authority helps you tap into a job market your peers and job boards do not even know exist. Legal Authority clients have proven thousands of times over that almost all legal hiring organizations hire people who approach them looking for jobs-regardless of whether or not the employer has an advertised position. Our clients also know that not all legal hiring organizations advertise their positions. Because of this, Legal Authority is able to benefit our clients in a way job boards, recruiters and others simply cannot match.

Legal Authority assists attorneys and law students in initiating customized, targeted mailings to groups of legal employers in areas they are interested in working. After a comprehensive market evaluation, our professionals will redo your resume and cover letter and prepare a customized mailing to the hiring contacts inside the legal hiring organizations you are interested in applying to.

The Legal Authority process works. Since starting in the year 2000, we have assisted tens of thousands of attorneys throughout the years. Does our process work for everyone? Of course not. However, in the substantial number of cases if you follow our recommendations you are going to be far better off than if you did not.

Legal Authority is a name you can trust: We are part of the CareerMission group of companies which is one of the larger career companies in the world.

• We conduct targeted mailings to legal employers that you might be interested in, whether in-house, law firm, government, or public interest. Targeted mailing is the most effective way to get a job because it enables you to (1) identify every employer who meets your interest and (2) express interest in working for these employers. When you conduct a targeted mailing you are applying to every employer who may have an advertised position, may be hiring informally without an advertisement, or who may decide they have a need when they see your application.
• Prior to you doing your targeted mailing with us, we will do a telephone appointment with you to discuss your specific needs in terms of the sorts of legal employers you are interested in working for. The founding company behind companies like LawCrossing, we spend 24 hours a day researching employer contact information and have the most thorough and comprehensive database of legal employers anywhere. After identifying these employers and agreeing on a marketing strategy, we rewrite your resume and cover letter accordingly in consultation with you.
• We then print your resumes, cover letters, and envelopes and FedEx them to you along with the phone numbers and contact names of each employer. All that you need to do is mail your letters. This marketing strategy has worked for generations of attorneys and law students who have used Legal Authority and it can work for you too.
• We offer a free consultation, and there is no obligation. We will recommend what we believe is the best strategy for you to go about searching for your next position. You can listen to our advice if you choose and use our service, or you can choose not to. There is no obligation whatsoever. After speaking with a Legal Authority representative, you can decide if you would like to use our service.
• We believe Legal Authority is extremely effective, because most legal positions are filled through self-initiated contact with legal employers. Our service does not work all the time for every law student and attorney; however, it works much more often than it does not. It almost always results in our clients receiving multiple interviews. Your success will depend on where you are applying for a job, the strength of your practice area and scope of your mailing. Our Employment Advocates will generally recommend the most aggressive path for you to insure your success.
